Festival of Arts and the Pageant of the Masters Show

Festival of Arts

While in California a bunch of us got the chance to attend the Festival of Arts show and the Pageant of the Masters Show!  IT  WAS AWESOME!  I highly recommend it!  The art was extraordinary and the outdoor show was unreal!

 Pageant of the Masters

What is it?  Ninety minutes of “living pictures” – incredibly faithful art re-creations of classical and contemporary works with real people posing to look exactly like their counterparts in the original pieces.
